泰坦尼克號船票65772美元被拍賣

The movie poster of "Titanic"

A ticket for the Titanic's ill-fated voyage that belonged to the last survivor with memories of the disaster sold to a collector from the United States at a British auction Saturday.

Lillian Asplund, who died in 2006 at the age of 99, was 5 years old when the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank during its maiden voyage from England to New York in 1912. Her father and three siblings were among the 1,500 people who died.

She was the last American survivor of the disaster and the last with memories of it. There are at least two alive survivors who had been too young at the time of the sinking to recall their experience.

Asplund's ticket sold for $65,772 auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said.

Another key item sold from Asplund's collection was her father's pocket watch, which reportedly stopped at the exact moment the ship sank.

Aldridge said the hands of the watch were stopped at 2:19 a.m., when Asplund's father Carl fell into the North Atlantic and seconds before the Titanic disappeared beneath the waves.

The watch was bought by a Swedish collector for $61,786, Aldridge said.

He said most of Asplund's collection of 364 items — which included rare photographs of the Titanic and post cards printed to mark the voyage — had been sold at Saturday's auction.

The lots were previously kept at Asplund's home in Massachusetts and have never been seen before in public, he said.

Asplund's parents, Carl and Selma, and their five children were traveling on the Titanic as they headed from their home in Sweden to the U.S. to make a new life in Worcester, Mass., Aldridge said.

Lillian, her youngest sibling, Felix, and their mother, Selma, all survived the sinking.

一張“泰坦尼克號”的船票于上周六在英國被一名美國收藏家拍得。這張船票來自最后一位記得那場沉船災難的幸存者。

這位名叫莉蓮?阿斯普隆德的幸存者已于2006年去世,享年99歲,當年那場災難發(fā)生時她只有五歲。1912年,“泰坦尼克號”在從英格蘭到紐約的“處女航”途中因撞上冰山而沉沒,導致共1500人喪生,莉蓮的父親和三個兄妹也在其中。

莉蓮是這場災難最后一個幸存的美國人,也是最后一個記得這場災難的當事人。目前,“泰坦尼克號”沉船事故的幸存者中至少還有兩人健在,但當時他們都太小,對當時的情形沒有任何記憶。

據(jù)拍賣商安德魯?阿爾德里吉介紹,莉蓮的那張船票以65772美元的高價拍出。

連同船票一同拍賣的另一件珍貴藏品是莉蓮父親的一塊懷表,據(jù)說這塊表恰好是在“泰坦尼克號”沉沒的那一刻停掉的。

據(jù)阿爾德里吉介紹,這塊懷表的指針停在2點19分,莉蓮的父親就是在此刻墜入北大西洋的,而幾秒鐘后,“泰坦尼克號”也消失在茫茫大海上。

這塊表被瑞典的一位收藏家以61786美元的價格拍得。

據(jù)阿爾德里吉介紹,莉蓮的大多數(shù)藏品都在上周六的拍賣會上被拍出。莉蓮共珍藏了364件與“泰坦尼克號”有關的物品,其中包括“泰坦尼克號”的珍貴照片和為紀念“泰坦尼克號”首航而印制的明信片。

他說,之前,這些物品都保存在莉蓮馬薩諸塞的家中,而且從未被公諸于世。

當年,莉蓮跟隨父母卡爾和塞爾瑪,以及四個兄弟姐妹離開瑞典,一同登上“泰坦尼克號”,準備前往美國馬薩諸塞州的伍斯特開始新的生活。而不幸的是,最后只有莉蓮和她的小弟弟費利克斯以及母親塞爾瑪逃過了這一劫。
